After much demand and many requests, Dr. Ferrando is now offering tailored intellectual services to the community. To make sure her expertise is affordable to different world economies, Dr. Ferrando bases her honorarium on a sliding scale.
1. Translation Rights
"Philosophical Posthumanism"
To make sure that the rights to the translation to different languages are feasible in different world economies, Dr. Ferrando offers them on a sliding scale, based on the economic possibilities of the publisher and their national economy.
Translations are crucial in allowing a diverse and plural dialogue on the posthuman, this is why Dr. Ferrando decided to adopt the sliding scale option, believing in existential honesty and the importance of global dialogues and understanding.
The suggested cost for exclusive rights to a language is $2.000. The sliding scale goes from $250 (for publishers that are economically challenged for different reasons) to $3.500 (for publishers who would like to show extra support). The publisher can choose the amount to offer based on their actual possibilities.
To translate the book into different languages, please contact Dr. Ferrando.
